A little bit more about me:
35 years old, and never been married.
Grew up in the South-West of Sydney, and stayed there up until a couple of years ago when I moved closer to the city to be near work (the commute was driving me insane). I never lived in Parramatta, but I have followed the Eels since the 1984 Grand Final. That was also the day that my immense hatred of all things Canterbury formed (the illegal shoulder pads proved they were complete merkins).
I'm a pretty decent cook. I do love to spend some time in the kitchen (f**king hate cleaning everything up afterwards though). I make a pretty mean lasagne, and my pork ribs are to die for.
I've just started dating a woman who is way out of my league, but she seems to really like me anyway. Being a nice guy finally paid off, haha.
I'm obviously a mad Eels fan, but I also am a big San Francisco 49ers fan. I also follow the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA (not because of Bogut...I was a fan since the days of Vin Baker, Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen), and am partial to the SF Giants in the MLB.
I was never very good at sports. Was a skinny little winger in League when I was young, but I gave that up quickly. Played some tennis, and got pretty good at it, but it became boring so I left that as well. I'm completely shit at tennis now which shows how much I had to work on it back when I played. Was ok at basketball, but only on defence - couldn't shoot to save my life. Now my exercise consists of running, walking and the occasional gym visit.
I have been a member of this board for 6 years, but I used to be under a different name (Fifty Metre Line). I only post occasionally, but I read it almost every day to see what's happening. The difference between now and when I first started is unbelievable. The fights that go on, while sometimes entertaining, are a sad reflection of what has happened to our football club. We really need our team to start winning or else this place will just get worse. It's sad to see posters refuse to come back, no matter who they are.
This thread has shown that we are all different people, but we all have one huge thing in common - We are Parramatta supporters. We love the club enough to come on here to talk/bitch/whine/celebrate/commiserate/laugh/argue with each other. We can get on each other's nerves at times (some more than others) and the conflicts can help generate discussion, which is what this place is all about. But sometimes it can go too far. We are all frustrated about how our team is performing. We all may have different opinions on how it could be improved. But lets try to remember the most important thing that sometimes seems to be forgotten:
We Are Parramatta!
